This week the children have been learning all about why we celebrate Christmas and they have been very busy doing lots of different Christmas themed activities.
All of the children have made their own snow globe bauble. Don’t they look fabulous?
Some of the children chose to complete snowmen puzzles. These puzzles required the children to practise their segmenting skills.
Some children chose to put Christmas stars on Christmas trees. This activity required the children to practise their blending skills.
Other children chose to design and decorate their own Christmas jumpers. I’m sure you will agree that the children’s jumpers are all very busy, unique and sparkly!
Some children chose to play with the mosaic shapes and they skilfully built different Christmas items with them whilst other children made repeating patterns with my Christmas pegs.
Some children chose to decorate Christmas trees. They were set the challenge of decorating the trees in rows of consecutive numbers! The children certainly did a fabulous job.
Outside some children chose to build and decorate Christmas trees using the natural resources that they found in the forest.
Whilst other children chose to use their phonic knowledge to write to Father Christmas with their Christmas wish lists. Let’s hope Father Christmas is making notes!
The children are definitely looking forward to their Christmas party tomorrow. They have now completed their first term in Reception. Bubble closures, staff and children absences and a global pandemic have not stopped the children having a wonderful and productive first term in Reception. The children have worked so hard this term and they definitely deserve a lovely Christmas break. We would like to take this opportunity of wishing all of the children and their parents a very Merry Christmas and we hope that you all have a Happy New Year! See you all again in January!
